One of the problems with this is that we're expecting people to write
their own handlers and we need to figure out what we want to expose to
them (internally using JDOM vs DOM isn't such a big deal) but we need to
consider how people will interface with us. If we believe that most people
will want to use DOM mainly because in order to interface with their
existing
technology they need a "standard" representation of the data then requiring
everyone to go through the pains of converting JDOM to DOM would probably
be too much.
I would prefer to make our lives harder (ie. use DOM internally) than make
our customer's lives harder.
